Blackthorn

The Blackthorn (not to be confused with the Blackthorne, with an ‘e’) is a simple, brilliant low-proof cocktail that tastes almost like cold mulled wine. It’s named for the blackthorn berry – another name for the sloe drupes used to create sloe gin.

You’ll need a very good, very fresh sweet vermouth for this; Carpano Antica or Punt e Mes are great choices.

Really Good App

We downloaded the app after seeing it as one of the top posts on /r/cocktails, and we've been playing around with it and adding our ingredients to the list. While it's not an all inclusive list of ingredients (missing some creme de ), it's a solid overall app and tosses out some truly spectacular recipes based on what you have in your liquor cabinet. Minor quibbles for an otherwise fantastic application!
